SPFL break Dundee vs Rangers postponement silence as probe is launched

The latest match postponement at Dundee will be investigated by the SPFL after Rangers were left raging.

The game’s governing body say they will look into the circumstances surrounding the call-off after the match at Dens Park failed to go ahead on Sunday after two pitch inspections. A local referee was drafted in for a 9.15am check before asking for extra time as the groundstaff worked on the surface. Don Robertson then arrived to do a second inspection with a decision made after that by the whistler that the game could not be started due to player safety with his final call described as a 'simple decision'.

The SPFL say they are particularly disappointed with the call-off given the match was scheduled for live coverage on key broadcaster Sky Sports while the fixture also falls so close to the league split as organisers now look for a new date to get the game played. Both Dundee and Rangers players had arrived at the stadium while thousands of fans were making the journey for the lunchtime battle.

An SPFL spokesperson said: “The postponement of any match is disappointing given the impact it has on supporters. This was particularly disappointing given the fact it was a live Sky Sports match and the proximity of the match to the split. The SPFL will be investigating the circumstances surrounding this postponement.”

Dens Park has had a number of issues this season with Rangers becoming the FOURTH fixture to suffer a call-off. Aberdeen fans were left furious after a game was called off 52 MINUTES before kick-off with club legend Willie Miller also letting rip live on air. Further games with St Johnstone and Ross County have also been affected this campaign.
